In episode 392, astrologers Adam Elenbaas and Chris Brennan discuss the relationship between fate and astrology and how astrology can be used as a tool to study fate.
This episode was originally written as a Q&A for Adam’s YouTube channel, where we asked his fans questions about fate, free will, and ancient astrology.
During the episode, we talk about how ancient astrologers viewed fate and used astrology as a tool to understand and negotiate it.
Along the way, we’ve touched on other topics such as karma and reincarnation, electoral astrology and magic, and how to determine a birth chart in a way that balances determinism and free will.
